Recent Activities
My nephew, Gabriel along with my niece Sheri, came to visit a few days. He and Dustin had a great time doing research and trying to make a sculpture of their faces. They smeared their faces with petroleum jelly so the plaster of paris wouldn't stick to their hair. The cut off straws were to let them breath through the ordeal.
I think I would have gotten claustrophobia.
The mold.
They melted aluminum in the homemade kiln and then poured it into the plaster of paris mold that was placed in a box of sand.
Does this look like Dustin or Gabriel?
They weren't real happy with the outcome. They each did it twice and had 4 faces. I thought maybe they could make "Mount Rushmore" using their own heads!!!

What boys won't do!!! I think I'll stick to quilting.
My guess is that the face is Gabes.
I would go crazy!! I'm gonna guess the face is Dottie. They look so much alike tho that it's hard to tell.
Oh my! What can I say? All that torture and mess?? Maybe they should try carving one so they can keep breathing!
I, too, would be claustrophobic! But, hey, it is an interesting idea!
That is hysterical! I told Joel to come look and he calmly replied that he knew they had done it. I guess I missed out on that conversation...Are you enjoying the high speed?
That is hilarious! But almost gross. I'd heard that "Dottie's head" was rolling around on the floor the other night when Marin was there.
